Mark Bell discussing proper elbow and wrist position during the bench press. He also talks about what some refer to as"over cooking" the cue such as, elbows in and how it can lead to poor wrist position. Over cooking a cue is when you take a cue too an extreme, which in turn puts you a bad position. Examples are elbows in such as Mark talks about, another one is "knees out." Some people will focus so much on knees out that they actually role to the outsides of their feet. Which during a squat or anything else you can see how that can be a problem. A cue is meant to get you in a better anatomical position. Once the better position is reached you need to have the body awareness to know that, along with knowing when you are taking the cue to far and outside of its original intent.

Sorry for the lack of post and timelines of them. Crossfit Football is in the process of switching over to a new website platform and it is taking longer then expected. This leaves me unable to go back to the prior week. The problem should be fixed soon on their part and things will be back to normal.
While you are waiting for the work out to be posted read John's Things I learned in 2013
